Coaching or enabling co-dependence?

I believe coaches should do just that, they should just coach.

I am there to get people stronger and more fit, period!

Some think their coach is “their shoulder to cry on” or their “shrink”.

That is  not part of the equation at the Cave.

When you walk through the door always be ready to give 100% knowing we are ready to start training. Keep your personal problems to yourself. I don’t want to hear them, it’s not my job and I cannot fix what you broke in your own life.

Here’s what works for me–

  • refuse to accept excuses
  • refuse to listen to whining
  • refuse to allow negative talk in the gym
  • MOST DEFINITELY refuse to get involved in the personal problems of your clients

Remember why you are there, coach!
